    44%. That’s the share of voters who said they would back a Democratic candidate in the midterms, according to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted Jan. 9-12, versus 40% who would back the Republican candidate. The poll is in line with other recent surveys on which party is favored in November, with an average of polls by RealClear Polling finding Democrats have a 4.3% advantage over Republicans as of Thursday.

    Jesus tapdancing christ. 44% to 40%. Just… wow.

    My compete and total lack of faith in the mental competence of the American electorate is certainly coming to a middle.

    I fucking hate it here.

        They are better than the alternative, but folks want them to be perfect when Nazis are running around killing Americans and if they’re not then fuck em.

          Well I want the Dems to literally light themselves on fire for what they did to Gaza, but really “folks” just want Dems to be decent. Like Dems don’t even want to defund ICE, they just want to put down bullshit procedural crap that they’ll face zero consequences

      It seems like every fucking election is like this…

      The “I hate everyone and everything, I’m going to abduct your neighbors, how dare you suggest billionaires get taxed anything at all” party

      vs

      The “I guess healthcare should probably be affordable and gay people exist and deserve dignity” party

      40% and 40%…

      The remaining 20% are outside eating rocks or something…
